Abstract
Described is n-level quantum system realized in the n-dimensional ''Hilbert'' space H with the scalar product G taken as a dynamical variable. The most general Lagrangian for the wave function and G is considered. Equations of motion and conservation laws are obtained. Special cases for the free evolution of the wave function with fixed G and the pure dynamics of G are calculated. The usual, first- and second-order modified Schrödinger equations are obtained.

Key words: Schrödinger equation; Hamiltonian systems on manifolds of scalar products; n-level quantum systems; scalar product as a dynamical variable; essential non-perturbative nonlinearity; conservation laws; GL(n,C)-invariance.
